India’s retail inflation rises to 4.38% in June as silver, gold jewellery prices surge
AI Market Summary
India's June CPI rose to 4.38% (up from 3.93%), driven heavily by surging precious-metal jewellery prices (silver +133% y/y, gold +36.8%). While inflation remains within the RBI's 2–6% band, the pickup alongside a higher FY27 inflation projection (5.1%) lowers the probability of near-term easing. This mix supports near-term demand sensitivity for gold as an inflation hedge.
